Inventory Reconciliation and Adjustment Screen
The Inventory Reconciliation & Adjustment screen was replaced by the Inventory Count screen in VetView version 3.3.
The Inventory Reconciliation screen is a tool to match actual inventory counts at at a physical location with the amounts stored in the system. This process should be done according to your hospital's best practices.
Inventory Reconciliation and Adjustment Search
At the top of this screen is a place to search for inventory areas, their sub inventory locations, or products within a specific inventory area or location. (You must select at least one Inventory Area to perform a search.)
List of Fields in the Inventory Reconciliation and Adjustment Search Section
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Inventory Area | (Required) Displays results from this inventory area. Only one Inventory Area can be searched at a time, and one must be selected to perform the search at all. |
Inventory Location | Optional field for inventory areas that have sub locations within them. If only one inventory location is associated with an inventory area, it will automatically load in this field |
Lot Number | Searches for a specific lot number within the inventory location. |
Product | Searches for a specific product within the inventory location, either by line and sequence number, or by keyword. |
Last Recon. Date | Searches for products within the inventory area based on the last reconciliation date ranges. Use this to build a list of inventory that has not been counted recently. |
Hide Reconciled Inventory | Will suppress any inventory reconciled with a username and date from the results, regardless of last date reconciled. |
Manufacturer | Searches for products by manufacturer. |
Inventory List
After search for inventory in the top section, a list of all products matching your criteria will appear below. This screen allows for direct modification. You can verify the current listed quantity, change it to the new quantity, and then Post New Values.
You can also print this list to create a physical report that can be carried to the inventory location if you are unable to take a laptop or tablet with you for the task.
This section performs best on a minimum screen size of 1920 x 1080. For smaller screen sizes, a scroll bar will appear on the bottom of the screen to facilitate the entire width of this list.
List of Fields in the Inventory List Section
